Hey!
I've decided to do an outfit post, but it's not because I think I dress particularly exciting or trendy. My wardrobe consists of mostly neutral colors, and I don't really wear accessories. If I find something that I really love, I may wear it constantly for a week or two. This is how boys work. We find something we like, and tend to stick with it. That being said, I think that doing outfit posts may make me a little more conscious of the things that I do throw on.
One of my favorite men's fashion blogs (remember, we are using the term loosely) is An Affordable Wardrobe. Giuseppe is my fashion icon. He has a well curated collection of thrifted clothing that fits well and doesn't cross the line. When I go shopping, I always think about his explanation of "eternal teenager syndrome" and how men of a certain age disregard the age appropriateness of baggy cargo shorts and a (insert mall store) tee. I never comment his blog, there is a small network of nasty "trads" who pick everything apart and I don't want to get wrapped up in that nonsense. I appreciate what he's doing. I've learned through reading his blog that dressing well doesn't necessarily mean buying a bunch of new stuff every week, but it does mean making good choices. This has boiled over into a life philosophy. "Just because something looks awesome, doesn't mean I need to have it".
Another reason why I think it's important to do more outfit post is connectivity to the blogosphere. Of course I want to continue to provide quality content and unique features, but I also want connect with my brothers and sisters out there on the 'net and prove that I am human and that I wear clothes. I've started to read a handful of new blogs, and it seems like everyone is sharing an outfit here and there and while most of them are girls in cute vintage dresses, my pal Colby Kern is proving that "the brothers are doing for themselves". You're an inspiration, guy! I think that's it's important for us boys to join in on the fun, and to prove that sometimes we can look good too.
And here's where you get to join in.
-What is your favorite thing about menswear?
-Do girls have to consider looking age appropriate?
-What are your favorite (online) men's vintage sellers?
So without further rambling, this is what I wore to work yesterday. The temperature in the store shifts from boiling to freezing throughout the day, so I need to be prepared for all weather phenomena. In addition, I rarely wear shorts but I love these to bits. I had sunglasses on, but I took them off for the picture because I felt like I was pushing it.
